Goes off the rails in one game as a rookie? Geez the standards we set for a team that last year had a guy who couldn't throw it in the ocean from the beach. No, GM15 will force them to do something with Foles this offseason, you don't pay that much to a guy to ride the bench and Minshew has way more upside at this point.

He looked bad in preseason. A lot of folks didn’t even want him as Foles back up. 

So can you say with 100% commitment that Minshew is a better QB than Tua or Fromm? 

I love Minshew and I want to believe, but I can’t commit 100% after seeing the Texans with a [BLEEP] secondary shut Minshew down. Yes, he’s a rookie, but the Texans deployed the same method the Saints did and Minshew didn’t do any better against it than he did with the Saints. 

Now we may not find out if Minshew can do good if he’s schemed against until after the next draft. It’s a risk for a franchise in desperate need of a franchise QB to pass on 2020s QB class.

The trouble with drafting another QB next year is, you can only develop one QB at a time.  If you decide to draft a QB next year, you have to decide, which one is going to play, which one is going to get the reps in practice.  That's why, until we know that Minshew is not the QB of the future, it's a complete waste to draft another QB.  

Besides, from what I saw of Fromm, I wouldn't draft him in the first round.  He's inaccurate.  The Florida-Georgia game was such a great example of the difference between college and pro ball.  Those guys were terrible.  Bad passes, bad decisions, mistakes everywhere.  

And we have no shot at drafting Tua.

Do you seriously want to throw away the guy who won rookie of the week 6 of the first 8 weeks?  To draft another QB who would be a total crap shoot whether he's a decent starter or a bust?  You're crazy.
